Notes

  • A speedy firecracker prawn stir-fry with punchy sauce, crisp veg and long grain rice makes a quick and easy midweek dinner that tastes far more exciting than the effort involved.

Tips

  • Once you get going this all cooks fairly quickly so have all your ingredients prepared and ready to hand.
  • If your frying pan is quite small you may need to cook in batches to make sure you get that stir fried crunchiness.

Swaps and substitutes

  • You can use frozen prawns just ensure thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
  • You can use smaller prawns or even chicken instead king prawns, just remember to adjust cooking times accordingly.
  • You can serve basmati rice or jasmine rice with this dish instead of long grain. Also goes well with noodles if you have them.
